I feel sorry for Europeans who aren’t geared for this. Couple of years ago a monster heat dome sat on the Pacific Northwest. Many of my coworkers lived in and around Seattle and were suffering the lack of AC. My brain can’t imagine living without.
Life sciences are where this sort of thing will shine.
OK, Trump beat Harris by 14% points. That makes all 31 million Texans hateful bigots. Imagine if I said the same of any other group. I’d be banned of the entire site if I said, Jews, blacks, LGBT, women, whatever are a bunch of X.
Trump, and seemingly many commenters on lemmy, has yet to figure out that Putin can’t stop this war. Russia’s wartime economy would collapse overnight, even if all sanctions were instantly lifted. Just like Netanyahu, ending the war would be political, and likely literal, suicide.
65% of that county (Bexar) voted for Biden. You were saying?
Seems like the walls were closing in for this guy.
All that destruction to provide a couple of hundred jobs. These dumbass politicians think Meta is bringing in a factory, like the old days.
My local waterways aren’t so fucking filthy that swimming has been banned for a century. We spent the 4th happily boating (electric!), swimming, fucking around on the local river, no thoughts of foul water.
For almost everyone, the straight-up phone call has become an intrusion.
I feel like everyone, in America anyway, has forgotten that telemarketers weren’t allowed to call cell phones.
Netanyahu ending the war? The war that’s postponing his corruption trial? Magic 8 Ball says, “BULLSHIT”.
The moon masses 8.1 x 10^19 tons. Every single thing mankind has ever produced in our entire history wouldn’t dent that.
Reason #4,538 why I’ll never live in or near a large city.
Yep. Given the choice, most people would rather be getting laid. Apparently lemmy finds this idea distasteful.
LOL, I heard that gif. Timed it in my mind, on the money OP.
Lies! That gif is sped up 2000%!
A 99-1 vote to drop the anti AI regulation is hardly the government voting against. The Senate smashed that shit hard and fast.
We’re sending war materiel, not so much (if any?) small arms.
I’d be shocked if we can’t. Since WWII, our whole military mission has been predicated on simultaneously fighting two major fronts and one brush fire. We’ve only recently dropped the brush fire bit.
OTOH, maybe I’m wrong. Put my comment in ChatGPT:
Obama-era Reassessment (2012): The strategy began shifting toward being able to fight one major war while deterring or denying another — a step down from the full two-war capability.
Trump and Biden Administrations: Strategy documents further refined focus on peer or near-peer competition (e.g., China and Russia), moving away from the rigid 2-MRC structure. The “brush fire” idea has largely fallen away as the military now emphasizes great power competition and integrated deterrence rather than trying to be everywhere at once.
ChatGPT is astonishingly good at answering questions, but if you continue to drill into a given conversation, 3-4, sometimes only 2 levels deep, and it’s off the rails.
Grok fucking nailed it. And everything stated is verifiable with almost no effort.
